Huck Finn

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Unknown year of publication—I didn’t write it down before I passed it on
Weight: 10 oz
Method of Disposal: Gave to my manager, Tara




Since starting this project, I have been getting more and more special requests for books, and I love it. In some cases, I can just hand the book over right then and there. Other times, I read it real fast and then hand it over. It is a fun challenge to try to find the book if I have it, and I often do have it. Tara happened to see something about Huckleberry Finn on 60 minutes and asked me if I had it. Of course! I grew up with Mark Twain. My mother and my school made sure I read Twain. It was not yet banned for any potential racism.

I can still find endless amounts of value in Mark Twain and know I will always be able to. He was a funny and intelligent man with a lot to offer.
